      frontier's website is stupid. i checked if they provide internet service for my address. it shows me 3 choices. fiber starting at $39. but does not show what kind of speeds. Then I check if they have bundle available for my area, suddenly it shows no service available for my area. They have a location 5 min from me. How can service not be available in my area?

        It all depends where the fiber is running. If it is not laid in your neighborhood then, yeah, "no soup for you".



        Or, the fiber is there, but it is owned by another telco/provider.

            I lot of times you just have to call them and make them call the techs. I've been told that many times but their database is simply wrong. I had one with the telco box at the end of the street, about 5 houses down. I made her tall the tech and not only did I have it, I had all the options available, max speeds, etc.

              my neighborhood was built with AT&T fiber, the only other options are cable or satellite.

              I get about 125mbps up/down, it costs $60 per month with no contract, no discounts, no bundle.

              500 for $44 would be awesome, though i have no idea how i would ever need that much speed

              Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

                Their website shows 115Mbs as the fastest plan. And only 45Mbs in my area.

                    That's the downside of our Gig cable account we get 1GB down but only 12MB up. Luckily I never have to send any large files anymore.

                        Your username is CUDA, but you don't d/load Linux Distro ISOs?
                        Slackware 2.5GB ISO takes under a minute to d/load via torrent with no open (poked) ports in the router for torrents.


                        A regular HD stream (regular Youtube, or Netflix, as I have no 4K TVs) burns-up only an AVG about 1.5Mb/sec, up to 3Mbps MAX, in my testing.

                        I've got UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH TO BLOW.

                        I have had more issues since the new ONT was installed, well before that as they had no clue what they were doing and tried to switch me to 500/500 when my old ONT didn't support it, but pretty solid compared to people on Cable, for sure.
                        With the old Verizon FiOS, and before no changes accept account related, it was never down.

                        Frontier actually declared bankruptcy April 14, 2020, at 11:06 p.m. so I have no clue what will happen now...
                        I don't know if I would stay with them if Google bought Frontier, stay or go, but for now I am good!
